Colin
Tizzard has not ruled out the prospect of giving Cue Card the chance
to bounce back from his disappointing Cheltenham Festival defeat.
Although the Milborne Port handler
would not be drawn on which race the multiple Grade One winner would contest,
he hinted that running again remains an option.
Tizzard told the punter: "The
horse is absolutely fine and he's not retired. All I'll say is that we said we
were going to run him until the end of the season and nothing has
changed."
As to an outing at either Aintree or
Sandown, he added: "We've no preference, I can tell you that at the
moment."
Ben Pauling
has conceded Aintree will come too soon for Willoughby Court after his
star novice chaser missed the Cheltenham Festival due to a setback.
The seven-year-old was successful at
the Festival last year and had been one of the leading hopes for the JLT
Novices' Chase after winning two of three outings over fences this term.
However, a foot problem saw him ruled
out of the showpiece fixture at the end of February, and Pauling said: "He
won't go to Aintree, as he has missed too much work.
Willie
Mullins confirmed Footpad is likely to head for Aintree
after being taken out out of the Ryanair Gold Cup at Fairyhouse.

Greatrex hopes a breathing operation will help La
Bague Au Roi bounce back to her best in the Ladbrokes
Champion Stayers Hurdle at Punchestown on April 26.
Greatrex
told the Punter "She had a wind op since her run at Cheltenham. She
looked like she was going to win turning in, then she hit a wall and jumped the
last very tired.
"She will go to Punchestown, all
being well, and go back up to three miles for the Grade One Stayers Hurdle
there.
Gary
Moore hopes he can get JLT Novices' Chase third Benatar
ready in time to make an appearance at
Sandown on the final day of the season. Speaking to the punter Moore said Moore said:
"He had a bone scan, he is fine and he has got the all clear from the
vets.
"He will have a few days
walking, we will see how it is and take it from there, but the good thing is
the bone scan showed no fracture of the pelvis.
"He won't get back for Aintree,
but hopefully we will get him back for the novice chase at Sandown on the last
day of the season."
Flat Competition will start Saturday 5th
